About
James Chalmers was born in Elgin, Moray, Scotland. He was a Loyalist officer and pamphleteer in the American Revolution. He was an ambitious military strategist during the War of Independence, but was apparently kept at arm's length by British commanders Sir William Howe and Sir Henry Clinton. In 1776, he authored a pamphlet entitled Plain Truth, a rebuke of Thomas Paine's Common Sense.
